palos verdes listing agent: What Economists Are Predicting for Housing in 2016 - 01/07/16 07:17 AM

palos verdes listing agent: The 7 Year Analysis for Palos Verdes Real Estate Performance - 03/15/15 06:28 AM

 
Donald Trump is often quoted, as saying there is no bad press, although the real estate industry might beg to differ since so much of the press it received in 2007 was negative.
 
 Since all real estate is local, it is misleading to look at it as a national statistic.  Here are a few uplifting numbers and facts for Rolling Hills, Palos Verdes Estates, Rolling Hills Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes-zip codes 90274 and 90275 in Southern California.

palos verdes listing agent: Open House--Pros and Cons - 02/05/14 12:41 AM

Spring is just around the corner and open house signs will proliferate throughout the front lawns of Los Angeles' South Bay communities. The rush to find a new nest is a rite of spring (although in Southern California the signs of spring are difficult to detect). Let it suffice to say open houses are a year-round staple in Los Angeles but with the advent of the Internet, virtual tours and a plethora of photographs, does the open house tool still belong in a Realtor's (and seller's) marketing toolkit?
My answer is a yes, but with reservations. My first concern is … (0 comments)
